@MyNameIsHurl hopefully the water isn't from the ocean bc dissolved solids are too small for it to filter

@deadgerbil Can I boil ocean water?

@MyNameIsHurl you'd have to boil it and do your best to capture and collect the steam, which is free from dissolved salt, as that's left behind when you boil it

@deadgerbil can I dig for water? I'm scared now

@MyNameIsHurl potentially
On these islands, freshwater is one of the most precious resources. Ground water is the main source of drinking water on many islands, and for quite a few islands, it is the only reliable source of water throughout the year
